Scoping Corruption in Voluntary Carbon Markets

This seminar presents emerging insights from RUSI’s Interrogating Corruption Risk in Voluntary Carbon Markets project. Drawing on early evidence and case studies, the discussion explores how market volatility, weak oversight, and governance gaps create vulnerabilities to fraud and corruption in voluntary carbon markets. The session will highlight key risks, evidence gaps, and potential policy and industry responses to strengthen integrity and restore confidence in these markets.
